I am trying to install a radio now that i have returned from the sand box and i got it wired up and running and what do you know.... i am driving down the street and my radio just cuts out.... i re wired the harness and plugged it back up and it works again, opps wired the Antenna to the wrong wire.... took it out fixed the wire plugged it in and powered up to no sound again..... turns out the Harness connection point for the Speakers is loose, does anyone have suggestions on how to fix this?

i think it may be a problem with the guy who installed these After market speakers before me, i will try tomorrow since it is so late but i think the radio may be shutting off the audio since the ohms on the Speakers arent right. the door and rear speakers have stock 8ohm speakers wired in parallel 2 for left and to for right which makes a 4 ohm hookup, once the speakers were replaced with 4 ohm speakers it lowered the ohms and the radio might not be able to handle them.... IDK... but i will see. if anything i will wire piggyback the harness with some plugs and be able to keep the OEM harness connected, can anyone give me a wiring diagram to work with? 95 Volvo 850 Turbo. thanks

This item from Crutchfield is worth it's weight in gold. Plugs right into the OEM harness and is labeled for each of the connections.
